Allan Shope, of Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, discusses Clearwater's stance on hydraulic fracture drilling (fracking) for natural gas. at a Frack Action press conference in Albany, NY, July 20, 2010.
Fracking injects water mixed with chemicals into the earth to release natural gas, often contaminating local water.
Energy companies are exempt from disclosing chemicals used (including neurotoxins and carcinogens) under the 2005 Energy Bill loophole masterminded by Dick Cheney.
Sullivan, Delaware and Ulster counties are targeted for drilling.
